Notebook: Costa’s stats can’t shake depth chart, plus links

In keeping with his practice this month, Chip Kelly didn’t mess with his depth chart Monday when the Ducks got back to work following Saturday’s scrimmage.

So table any thoughts of a quarterback controversy, for now.

Two days after backup Nate Costa got the better of Jeremiah Masoli in the scrimmage — at least statistically — it was business at usual for the Ducks on Monday. Masoli took the first reps at quarterbacks in the morning session and continued to do so all the way through the second workout of the day.

On Saturday, Costa completed 12-of-15 passes and accounted for four touchdowns, while Masoli was 5-of-13 passing with two total touchdowns.

“When you watch the film, you’re never as good as you think you are and never as bad as you think you are,” Kelly said.

“Nate did play pretty good. He made some decent decisions out there. I think Jeremiah tried to force the issue a little bit, but those are things he needs to continue to work on. But he made some really good decisions at times.” Click here for the complete notebook.
